When importing RAW shots made with a Sony RX100, in the RAW+JPEG mode, when the JPEG part was set to less than 20Mpixel, Lightroom 4.2RC will misidentify the files as being cropped and will show a crop box centered on the image, even though both the raw and the JPEG did use the full size image. This happens regardless of the used aspect ration, i.e. the crop is not because of the use of a non-native aspect ratio.

Perhaps you meant 5D III?
Also, the issue should be fixed for the Sony case in the final version of ACR 7.2 / LR 4.2.

EDIT: I now have checked, shooting Raw only results in a cropped file, shooting Jpeg only results in an uncropped file.
Furthermore, the 7D has a very similar custom function.....but when selected neither Raw or Jpeg files are cropped by Lightroom.
That seems to me like Lightroom is not handling files shot with that setting consistently (my expectations were that it wouldn't crop anything).

The intention then seems to be to allow DPP to recognise the "cropping information" and do the cropping, but it is not done in camera. So the net affect is that Lightroom is recognising that cropping information with respect to the RAW file, and cropping accordingly, but isn't doing it for the associated JPEG. Hence my original point that the RAW and JPEG appear differently....one cropped, the other not.

Are you getting different results in your testing?

I'll try to do some further testing, maybe there's a setting combination which triggers this....

I have found that someone was having the same problem as me after finding this link:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/10953...
Basically I stupidly set my Canon 5D MK3 to 'add cropping information' to the display to highlight an 8x10 so I could use this as a guide as we had to shoot in this aspect ratio for a class assignment. When I try to import into Lightroom (and Photoshop for that matter) both applications do not recognise the original image as a whole and crop to an 8x10, hence I lose some of the information at the top/bottom of the image (even though I can see this in the RAW .CR2 file itself). I have added the plug called 'DNG Recover Edges' into Lightroom but this only works on a DNG (obviously) and even when I convert the .CR2 file into DNG I lose this information :-( I am desperate to get this back as I recently went to Brazil and some of photos have been cropped which means I sometimes lose the tops of peoples heads even though I can see the whole image cleary as a RAW .CR2 file.
Does Lightroom 5 or Photoshop CC fix this? (I am using Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5 at the moment...
PLEASE HELP!

I'll have a look at the Recover Edges plug-in when I get some time to see if I can figure out why it isn't working for you.
The same problem will exist in Lightroom 5, I believe.
